Thanks Ash. Great service provided. I went there for car service. They checked every bits and pieces and change the things required. Not only that also told me what parts need attention on next service. Highly recommended, definitely will be back.

We'll give you the good oil: Penrite and Fuchs at Dubbo Friends Auto Care

By Marksy.com.au • September 20, 2024
When we say, we’ll give you “the good oil,” we’re talking about the Australian idiom. We decided to use this as our headline because we thought it was a funny play on words; in case you don’t know what that means, we’ve included a citation to an esteemed establishment explaining the Australian term to help our assimilating brothers and sisters.

How do you know it's time for an oil change?

By Written by Marksy.com.au • April 17, 2024
It is difficult to know when it's time for an oil change, but there are some tell-tale signs that you can look out for. One of the most obvious signs is the color of your oil. If the oil in your car changes from a golden brown to black or dark brown, it’s time for an oil change. If you're unsure where to check your oil tank dipstick you can always pop in and see us at Dubbo Friends Auto Care. Another sign is when your engine makes a knocking sound or starts to shake. The sound and vibration from this means that there’s not enough lubrication in the engine, which can be caused by old or dirty motor oil. Leaving it to long can cause serious issues to your motor. The oil change is a necessary maintenance measure for your car. It is recommended to get an oil change every 3,000 kms. If you are not sure about how many kilometers you've traveled, it's best to go for an oil change every 3-6 months. The life of your engine depends on how well you take care of it. Regularly changing and checking the engine oil will ensure that the engine will last longer and run smoother. The benefits of changing the engine oil are: - Improved performance - Reduced emissions - Reduced risk of breakdowns - Reduced wear and tear on other parts of the car. If you'd like us to check your oil for you or do a service on your car feel free to call us on (02)58060360 or book in using any of the buttons on this site.
